,which I realize might be due to my ignorance of the first three steps of this process: "adb usb", "pkill adb", "adb remount" - (Which I tried to type into terminal, phone connected via usb, only to receive a message telling me that this command doesnt exist)

After 24 hours of frantic googling I am feeling tired, aggravated and starving for help from anyone who knows anything about the topics covered.

At this point I am most interested in getting back to stock, where I can actually use my phone instead of being stuck in clockworkmod.

Thank you for your time and patience in reading my request. Prompt responses will be rewarded with emoticons and adulation.

You got error messages for the first 3 steps, so you decided to proceed to step 4? Is it any surprise it didn't work?

Before you try this, you need to get adb working, since apparently adb is required for the procedure you are following.

Sometimes ADB is bundled with the package you're trying to install. If not, you can get it by downloading the Android SDK (google it). It will be in a folder called "platform-tools" or something like that.

You also need to have the drivers for the phone installed on the computer. I don't know about the Moto Charm drivers. They should have came with the phone... on the SD card maybe? But you'll need the drivers for adb to work.

Google is your friend here. Unfortunately, you don't have a popular phone, which means the rooting community will be small. But see if you can find out how others got adb working.

Once adb is working, steps 1-3 should succeed, and then you can move to step 4

After installing new drivers the computer still fails to recognize the usb in the phone. I've also noticed that once the motorola logo comes on for few seconds the usb light (where the cable connects to the phone) that is usually on goes off.
